Phaneuf has had 45 fights in the NHL. Cody Franson has had 1

So Dianne is ugly and stupid due to blunt force trauma?

I was unaware that either were still in the league.

Pens trying to be like the 2011 canucks, all they need is manny, torres, higgins at least.

With all the rumours about the Canucks trading for Bartkowski, there might be a free option for the Canucks. Dylan Olsen is on waivers. A 6'2" 223 defenseman with 5G 16A in 116 GP -15. A former first round pick of the Hawks in 2009. The only problem is the Canucks have no room to pick up a player without waiving one.

The EvaderMutiny took away the news on Voynov police report

Marta Varlamova, Voynov’s wife, told police the couple started arguing during a Halloween party. Voynov removed her costume glasses and stomped on them, then, outside the venue, he punched her in the left jaw, according to the report.

When asked by police what the argument was about, Varlamova “stated that she could not remember,” the report said.

The dispute continued in the bedroom of the couple’s Redondo Beach home, Varlamova told police. Voynov, she said, choked her with both hands three times.

“Voynov pushed her to the ground approximately six to seven times with both hands, telling her that he wanted a divorce and to ‘Get out,’ “ the report said.

Varlamova told police that Voynov then kicked her five to six times while on the ground. She said she screamed for him to stop.

When she rose, the report said, Voynov pushed her into the corner of a flat-screen television mounted on the wall, opening a gash above Varlamova’s left eye. Varlamova said the couple’s bedroom was “covered in her blood.”

“Voynov ‘got scared’ and the attack stopped,” the report said.

Seems he's afraid of the site of blood.

At Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, where Varlamova sought treatment, the Redondo Beach officers noted she had bruising, swelling and a 1.2-inch laceration above her left eye, in addition to “red marks and scratches” around her neck. She “complained of pain to her entire body.”

“The marks appeared to be consistent with her statement regarding the physical altercation that occurred,” the report said.

A doctor used eight stitches to close the cut and ordered a tetanus shot during the two-hour visit.

Last week’s court filing by Voynov’s attorneys said Varlamova indicated to a nurse that Voynov was responsible for her injury and that this wasn’t the first time such a thing had occurred. The filing described the nurse’s questions as “leading” and “unnecessary.”

Torrance Police officers first responded to the medical center at 11:58 p.m. on Oct. 19 after a call from a nurse.

Later, in the emergency room lobby, after Redondo Beach police were called, an officer asked Voynov how Varlamova was injured.

“Voynov stated she hit the edge of the television as she was getting out of bed,” the report said. “Voynov denied striking and pushing [Varlamova] into the television. No further questions were asked.”
